Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 39
Chapter 39
Even after that day, the daily life of Wei Yan-ho continued to develop quite comfortably.
Prince and Moon Yu-hwan seemed frantically busy dealing with the consequences of the events of that day, but those matters had nothing to do with Wei Yan-ho.
Moon Eun-ji did everything possible to find some flaw in Wei Yan-ho, but since she had already made a firm promise with her own mouth, she could neither act nor refrain from acting, and could only boil anger from within.
Had Wei Yan-ho been, he would naturally have ignored any promise made at a time of urgency, but Moon Eun-ji, who had been strictly educated by Moon Yu-hwan, found it extremely difficult to break a promise she had made with her own lips.
Thanks to this, Wei Yan-ho was enjoying the most comfortable and peaceful life he had had since entering the Grand Hanrim Academy.
At every meal they took him to his room delicious meals and there was no one to bother him to sleep.
It was a real paradise!
“Paradise could not be different from this.”
As a cool breeze blew through the open window, Wei Yan-ho covered himself with his blanket and lay comfortably.
His eyes began to close drowsy.
The dream seemed something that the more you enjoyed it, the more I came looking for you.
‘Well, I’ve had breakfast, so until dinner comes…’
Hit!
At that moment, the door opened.
Wei Yan-ho frowned and looked at the door.
Moon Eun-ji entered with an indifferent expression.
“Get up.”
“……”
“I know you’re not sleeping, so stop pretending to sleep and get up.”
“What’s going on?”
“Dad is calling you.”
“What about my day off?”
“It is not I who calls you; it is Dad who calls, so go and argue with him directly. Aren’t you saying that, after going around in bed for seven days and seven nights, you can’t even go when they call you briefly?
“Well, that’s not what I’m saying, but…”
Moon Eun-ji did not doubt for a moment that Wei Yan-ho would rise.
But Wei Yan-ho’s reaction always exceeded her expectations.
“It’s annoying, couldn’t you tell him I’ll see him later?”
“ Kyaaah! ”
Moon Eun-ji grabbed the blanket Wei Yan-ho had wrapped around himself and lifted it.
Wei Yan-ho rolled and, suddenly, fell to the ground.
“Oh!”
“How is it that a person doesn’t come out of his blanket once in seven days and seven nights? Can’t you see the print that was left on this blanket?”
But blankets naturally have prints, don’t they?
“ Jadeo…”
Moon Eun-ji staggered with a look of despair on her face.
How had such a human being come to settle in his house?
Whether he likes it or not, Wei Yan-ho slowly rose from his place.
Others may not believe it, but he was also human and had something called shame.
Even dogs move their tails when someone feeds them, and he couldn’t ignore Moon Yu-hwan, who was feeding him and protecting him when he called.
“Where to?”
Moon Eun-ji stared at him.
“Do you plan on going like this?”
“How do I go then?”
Wei Yan-ho asked as he took off the laggers he had stuck all over his eye.
Moon Eun-ji forced a smile as the veins swelled in her forehead.
“Anyway, you’re going to meet the elders, so how about you wash yourself a little?”
“Mmm?”
Wei Yan-ho pulled the clothes she was wearing and smelled it.
“Sniff sniff, is that okay?”
Moon Eun-ji’s face trembled.
If the clothes you wear to spin for a week is okay, then what clothes in the world would not be right?
«If I were really a beggar, I would at least applaud him for finding a truly suitable job».
But he didn’t look like a beggar.
If Moon Eun-ji had known that Wei Yan-ho was someone who would cause shock even in a den of beggars, he would not have had those thoughts.
“If you don’t want to wash, you don’t have to wash.”
“Really?”
“Yes. Because today I am going to thoroughly clean this whole room with water!”
“Should I go out?”
“No need. I’ll clean it with you. I’ll leave you glowing with latrine rags.
“I’m gonna wash up.”
“Good idea.”
Wei Yan-ho grumbled as he headed to the bathroom.
“Why should humans immerse their bodies in water?”
What was the point of using cumbersome water when it was possible to clean properly with a dry cloth?
It was completely inefficient.
But once he plunged into the hot water, he shivered naturally. “From the perspective of water, having to soak Wei Yan-ho among so many humans could be a shame, but it was not something Wei Yan-ho had to worry about.”
Wei Yan-ho washed his body for the first time in a long time and put on the clothes that Moon Eun-ji had prepared.
He wore impeccable white clothes and collected his hair, underwent a complete transformation and became a pretty attractive young man.
“……”
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
“I’m surprised.”
“Why, because I’m handsome?”
Moon Eun-ji surprisingly nodded obediently.
Wei Yan-ho shrugged at Moon Eun-ji’s unexpected reaction.
“I’m pretty handsome.”
“I’m surprised how dirty you must be normally so that a person changes so much with just washing. You should have been a lot dirtier than I thought.”
Wei Yan-ho felt discouraged.
“I’m not really that dirty…”
Moon Eun-ji clearly ignored Wei Yan-ho’s senseless words.
Let’s go for now.
“Tch.”
Wei Yan-ho followed Moon Eun-ji into Moon Yu-hwan’s quarters.
“Father, I have brought that person.”
“Go ahead.”
Upon receiving the answer, Moon Eun-ji opened the door carefully and entered. Wei Yan-ho also followed it with reticent expression.
Moon Yu-hwan and Prince Gong were sitting in the room.
“You’ve done well, you can go.”
Moon Eun-ji took a bow and went out.
Wei Yan-ho also took a bow and went out.
“Not you, hey!”
The prince screamed irritablely.
Wei Yan-ho touched Moon Eun-ji at the waist.
“They’re saying you should stay”
“…it’s you, you!”
“To me?”
When Wei Yan-ho looked back, the Prince was looking at him with a look that could devour him.
Wei Yan-ho silently returned to the room and sat in front of the Prince.
click.
The door closed and a strange atmosphere circulated in the room.
Moon Yu-hwan looked from one side to the other between the Prince and Wei Yan-ho with a subtle expression, while the Prince looked at Wei Yan-ho from the top to the bottom with a face as if he had chewed insects and let deep sighs escape.
Wei Yan-ho, despite all this, blatantly showed his face full of anger, indicating that he wanted them to hurry and expose their affairs.
Anyone who observed would think that mortal enemies faced each other.
“Your Highness.”
When Moon Yu-hwan, unable to bear it any longer, spoke, the Prince let a deep sigh escape.
“I sigh.”
The prince shook his head, put his hand in his robe and pulled something out.
A little golden dagger.
Immediately, Wei Yan-ho’s eyes lit up.
But the Prince only pulled out the dagger and did no other action, doubting and causing his hand holding the dagger to contract several times.
“Your Highness.”
The prince threw the dagger at Wei Yan-ho irritatedly.
“Here!”
Wei Yan-ho quietly picked up the dagger that had fallen to the ground and kept it in his robe.
The prince observed Wei Yan-ho in silence and then spoke.
“Do you know what that is?”
“No.”
– So what were you thinking about taking it without saying a word?
Wei Yan-ho responded with a enchanted smile.
“Because it seemed valuable.”
“…is that so?”
“Yes.”
Prince Gong lowered his head and Wei Yan-ho smiled.
“My master said that if something seems to be worth money, I should take it first without hesitation.”
“Ugh.”
The prince covered his face with both hands.
«This is wrong. You need to change your mind now!»
The prince withdrew his hands and raised his head to examine Wei Yan-ho carefully.
Even if Moon Eun-ji had dressed him, his outward appearance was that of a handsome knight. Considering his appearance and the divine ability he had demonstrated that night, anyone would say he possessed the bearing of a young hero.
But knowing the true lazy, shrewd and cursed nature hidden in the behavior of that young hero, the Prince simply could not see Wei Yan-ho with good eyes.
“That sword is…”
No refunds!
“No, that sword is…”
Surely someone at the Prince’s level wouldn’t tell someone that he’s not even a child to give back something he’s given him?
“No, what I’m saying is…”
“Ptoo, ptoo, ptoo! I’ve already spit on him. As I spit on him, now he’s mine.
“Let me speak, you fucking bastard! You deserve your three generations to be exterminated!”
The room trembled loudly and Wei Yan-ho’s neck instinctively shrunk.
The prince was boiling with anger, but barely regained composure in the face of Moon Yu-hwan’s moderation.
“ Grrr! ”
The prince, who emanated blatantly disgruntled, spoke half angry.
“That sword is a sacred object of the Censored. Wherever you go, if you show it, they will treat you with a position equivalent to mine.”
“……”
“What, is there a problem?”
“That’s it?”
“Mmm?”
“No, I mean something that’s really beneficial, you know, something that can buy food, a house…
“And then?”
“Come on, why would someone with your understanding act like that? Still, I’ve done something, so if you try to solve it with something like that, it’s a little troublesome. That’s how the world works. If something comes out, something should come in. Nowadays, something more material and realistic than this, so… Ha! This is really problematic. It’s nice, but I can’t say it directly…”
The prince’s face trembled.
“Money?”
Wei Yan-ho applauded as if he were impressed.
“Wow! You understand perfectly!” As expected, you didn’t get to that post in vain!”
“So you want money instead of the sacred object of the Censorship?”
“Well, it’s hard to say so directly. After all, I also have good manners.
Suddenly, the ink stone on the Prince’s desk flew through the air towards Wei Yan-ho.
Hit!
Wei Yan-ho gently caught the flying ink stone and left it on the ground.
“Are you going to give me this too? Does it look expensive?”
“Ahem, that’s…”
Moon Yu-hwan was nervous.
It looked like a beautiful inkstone.
The prince let a deep sigh escape.
“I don’t know if this is the right thing to do.”
The prince realized that it was beneficial not to pay attention to Wei Yan-ho’s reactions and continued to speak.
“Let me repeat: that is a sacred object of the Censorate. It will receive the same treatment as I in any government office. In other words, it means that I am granting you an official position equivalent to that of Inspector General.”
“……”
“You said you were traveling the world. If you have that, you won’t have to pretend you don’t see world corruption.”
“In short, my work is increasing.”
“I’m giving you an official position.”
“Isn’t it the same?”
“It’s different.”
“In what way?”
“…If I say it’s different, then know it’s different.”
Faced with the reaction of the prince, Wei Yan-ho receded a bit, but still, he did not forget to leave a farewell comment.
“As I must respect my elders, so I will say.”
The prince touched his ears. “By then, he was probably already getting smoke.”
Moon Yu-hwan continued to speak instead of the agitated Prince.
“The Censorship has been sending undercover inspectors to the Central Plains for a long time. The post has been vacant for a while, but from now on, we would like you to assume that function.”
“With just this?”
“I’m not telling you to settle for this! I’m not telling you to settle for this! I’m giving you a reward! I’ll sell my house if necessary and I’ll give you a reward!
The Prince’s cry covered the entire Grand Hanrim Academy.
